We get a further update on the Guardians of the Galaxy movie from Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige in the latest issue of Empire Magazine.

Feige lets it be known who the main villain will be as well as hints at that Thanos will be featured more than a cameo.

"Ronan The Accuser is very much the main bad guy. And Thanos is lurking above it all," Feige told Empire. "You will learn more about Thanos in Guardians, for sure. Certainly you'll get more than the one turn around and smirk. You'll get much more than that!"

In the same article, Feige also stated Guardians of the Galaxy takes place within the same time frame as the other Marvel Studios movies, perhaps squashing the rumor that the movie is to be set in the future.

"It's not exactly revealed what year or month it is in relation to the other Phase Two films. But yes, it's the same time," Feige offered.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy movie" has an August 1, 2014 release directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt as Peter Quill Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax The Destroyer and Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Benicio Del Toro as The Collector, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Lee Pace as Ronan, DjimonHounsu as Korath the Pursuer, with John C. Reilly as RhomannDey and Glen Close as Nova Prime.
